"[0 r11.- ti /(HUD it iii/my rronnern:

Be it known that I, Jonx Jonunxsox, a citizen of the l nited States, residing in the city and county of San. Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful improvements in Locks, of which thct'ollow ing is a specification.

My invention relates to loeks for doors its object is to provide a-simple practical lock suitable not only for the doors oi residen es and other buildings, but tor vaults, sales, and all places generally where it. is desired absolutely to prevent the. picking oi the lock. I

p The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination ot parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the aeeonipanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a horizontal section of myloek. 2 is a section on the line Y Y of Fig. i. t is a section on the line. X X of Fig. 1. ig. 4: is a longitudinal section through the carrier. Fig. 5 a POISPGCtiVt"YltW of the tumbler-plate. Fig. G is a View of the key.

A and B represent respective outer and innerdoor-kntabs, each having a hollow knobshank and each shown as made integral with its knob-shank and with its respective ilange 2 The knobs are secured rigidly to opposite sides of the door 4 by means ol the screws 5, which pass from the inside of the door through the inner llange 3 and the door and screw into the outer llange 12, whereby the latter and its knob may only be removed from the inside. Both knobs and both shanks are thus'stationarv and nonrotat:'i-. ble, and the retraction of the bolt 6 is done by reciprocating a part in either of the knobs either by hand when the parts are adjusted in one way or by a key only from the outside and by hand from the inside when the parts are in normal hwking position, all as in the manner to be explained hereinafter.

The ioekingdiolt (5 is slidable and suitably guided against. rotation in the sleeve 7, A s ,ring is operates to press the bolt 6 always outward into the path of the keeper carried by the (l( )()l-]t1l1]l).

The outside knob carries two members for operal no the bolt 6 and the inside knob carries -10 member tor the same purpose, and these-several members I shall desig herel l l i l l l l l l l l l l l in as "bolt-actuators. The several actuators have a rectilinear movement rather than a rotative. one, like ordinary roll-backs, to operate the bolt 6. The actuators which are carried by the outer knob are represented by the reterentie-numerals t) it) and that earried by the inner knob by the character 11. The two aetuiitorsfllt) comprise parallel spaced plates having similar notches 1'2 in their ends and similar cam-surfaces 13 on one side and similar projections -l approximate to the outer ends ol' and standing at an incline to said cam-surfaces. ()ne plate, as 5), is c'apnble oi a reeiproeating mov ment independent of plate ll), but is normally spring} retracted, so that the two may stand side by side with tl.e outlines ol the two exactly alike. When Viewed from either side, the plate which is in front shuts out the View ol the plate behind. 'Both plates S) Ware car'- riod by a part 15, here shown as polygonal in outline and sliding and guided in a ring- In, sunk into and fastened to the inside of flange 2, with the carrier '15 housed in the outer knob and knob-shank. 'lhis carrier 15 is iil'urcat ed normally spring-relrae'ted latch-bolt 17. to which the actuator E) is lixed. 'lhe actuator it) is fastened direct to the inner end ol' the earrier i5, and both actuators are wider than the -arrier and the hole in ring 16. through which the earrier operates, so that once the. parts are assembled the carrier cannot be withdrawn outward through the ring Hi and knob 'lhe latch-bolt is slotted at its outer end lo provide a narrow keyway l8, and the ends ol the l'orks formed by the slotsare shaped to operate above and below respective knil'eedge ledges 19 2() on the interior oi the rarriage. 15. 'lhe'end ol' the latter is closed, except lora narrow slot 2i between the ledges 1t) 20. and which slot registers with the keyway 18.

ll" desired, the size oi the bore ol' the knob A may be somewhat increased ha a short distance from its outer end to form a stop 22 for thellange or perforated disk 23 to abut against, which flange is lixed to the ond of the carriage-l5 and has a. close sliding lit, Within the enlarged interior of the ,knob. Tho opposite sides of the carriage arc slotted, as at 2 t, and the latch-b0lt 17 is correspond- 15 normally retracted wit hinv o I Clo ,22.

ingly slotted, as at 25. A pin or stop member carried by a fixed part of the mechanism, as ring to, extends across the slots 2 t 15 and forms a seat t er one end ol a spring 2(3. The other end ol" the spring seats against the wall of slot '35. This spring :"3 has a double function. it operates to bout the latchsbolt l7 normally ret acted within carrier 1:") with the actuator 9 abutting against the end ol' the carrier and standing abreast ol' the actuator to. The spring also operates to keep the carriage knob A and its shank.

The spaee between the tlanges o. horizoi'itally and in the same plane with the slot 23 ol the bolt (3. The rear wall ot slot 23 here shown has a pin it) normally resting in the angles termed by the cams 1" and projections H, the spring 8 tending always to press the bolt outward to carry the pin 2%) into these angles and into the imn'iediate path ol' either ol' the -ams l3. 'lhe result is that.- when either the actuator t) is moved in singly by the pressure on the latch-bolt 17 or when tln entire carriage and both actuators are moved in, as the carrier is adapted to be, the bolt will be retracted and it is possible to open the door l'rom the outside.

The inside knob l3 carries suitable mechanism lor controlling the movement ol the bolt (3 by either the carriage l or the latchholt 17. A button 30, having a milled pro jeoting edge 2;], is mounted to have sliding movement in the end of knob B and carries a stem 3'2, to which the actuator is fixed. 'lhis actuator is in the lorm ot a plate shaped son'iewhat like an arrow-head, with opposite 'ziin-surimes 32 3, having a central projecting pin portion 3-1. The stem 32 carries two spaced collars actuators 9 it). whichextcnd lt1t() lll( are disposed 3n oti, between which is arranged a helical spring 37, surrounding the stem 32 and abutting against the collars 35 36 and tending to press them apart. 'lhe stem is made polygonal, and the collars have the collars may be time that similar openings, so that slidable on the stem and at the same partake. ot' the same rotative movement the stem is subjected to at intervals.

The eollar 35 adjacent to'the button is limited in its outward movement on the stem by the stop 38, Fig. 2, and normally the collar 35 is supported against a. shoulder 43 in knob B.

. The collar 36 is limited in its movement on the stem by a eorresponding stop 39, but normally rests against a slotted dish 40, hearing against a ring 4-1., which is countersunk in and secured. to the inside of llange 3. The stem 312 or a .redueed portion ol. the. actuator 11 has a limited reeipn)eatingn'ioven'ientinthe disk 40.

The tlange 3 is suitably cut out beneath the ring 41 to aeeomi'nodate dish L t) and. to allow the latter a tree rotative movement.

When the button is pushed in, end. of thospring presses collar 36 l l l a limited l l l l t l the inner ciproe-ate the against bolt 6 from the outside, also the button 30 dish 40, and stop 38 on the actuator operates to compress the spring by carrying collar 35 torward. When the button is pulled out, the, action on thespringis reversed and the shout ders St) on the actuator carrying the collar 3 along to compress the spring. i

The foregoing construction allows the button 150 to he pushed inward to retract bolt 6 or to be pulled outward, atrdwhe'n pulled outward the button and the actuator may be rotated tor the purpose to be shortly explained. t

A 'einplete withdrawal of the actuator 11 l'rom the inside of the lock. will be prevented by means o l" the sllOtllt'ltTS 44 abutting against the ring -ll. The parts which are carried by the inner knob B are mounted so that the pin projection 34 on member It will always stand between the. actuators t It) and. approximately in the plane of the notch s 12 in the ends ol' those zu-tnators, and the butt n3O is adapted to be turned so as to bring the actuator l t into a plane parallel with and between the actuators t) ll) or to be turned into a plane at right angles to the plane of the actuators 9 1t) and in line with the before -mentionod notches l). When the three actuators all he in parallel planes, the lockis then in operative position and may be opened from either the inside. or outside; but the bolt 6 can only be i'et 'aeted lroln the outside without the key when the actuator Ill happens to be turned in just a certain way to earry a looking member 45 out ot the path of the, aotuator 1t) and at the same time having all the actuators lying in p: allel planes.

The locking member 45 consists of a projectiug piece arranged parallel with the actuator '11 and rotatable with it and setting off to one side ol the pin 34, whereby this looking member will describe an are of sii'llicient radius when button 30 is turned to carry the, locking member away from contact with. and out ol' the path of the opposed actuator. 10 and over to the opposite side into the plane ol the actuator 9 and on the side occupied by the cams l 3. The locking member 45 is lixed to and rotatable with the. disk 40.

in pri'ietiee the operation of the lock will he s lollows: With the lock set to he opened from the outside only by means of a key inserted through slot 21 and into the keyway t8 the button 30 on the inside of the door is turned to bring the actuator 11 into a plane parallel with and between the actuators 9.

1t) and with the locking member 4'5 in the path of the end of the actuator 10. The looking'inember 45, which is held against any lengthwise movement, thus presents an e.- lectnal stop to any inward movement to the aetiiator'ttl, as by pressing in on the outer end of" the carriage 15. A key, however, may he. inserted into the keyway 18 to .re-

actuator 9, and thus retract the can be opened by hand from the outside, the

ed out slightly and given a.

button 30 is pul complete'half-turn'to bring the actuator 11 it IS simpl y'necessary side actuators. I

again into a plane parallel with and between the actuators 9 -10, but carrying the stop member 45 out of interference with the out- This leaves the lockin mechanism to be operated by an inward pressure on the outer end of the carriage 15 or by means of the key, as in the first instance, also the bolt can be by pushing in. as before on the button to cause a cam 33 to pushback on-the pin 29, carried by the bolt 6. being opened from the outside by any means, to pull-out the button 30 a short distance and turn it a quarter-turn in either direction to bring the actuator 11 at right angles to the actuators 9 10 and theneasing the button to allow the actuator 11 to engage in the notches notches 46 in the slotted sides of the bolt 6. It thus becomes impossible for any of the actuators to be reciprocated or for the .bolt to be retracted.

In order to safe uard a ainst an eas unlocking of the door and in order to prevent against the lock being picked, and also to provide for a wide ran e of action in the construction of the loo s, I employ a tumbler mechanism in connection with the latch-bolt 17 and keyway 18 of the following construction: 47 represents a plate disposed in the recess in the carriage l5 and having projecting ends 48, slidablc and guided in suitable cam-slots 49 in the walls of the carriage. This plate has a series-of suitably-staggered pins 50, engaged in perforations 51 in the member 17. The. perforations 51 extend across the keywaylS, so-ihat the pins may interpose a suitable stop to the entry of an improper-instrumentin the keyway. Ordinarily, with the latch-bolt l'T-and the actuator 9 fully retracted, the plate 47'is lifted by reason of the upraise in the slots 49 to carry the pins-50 out of the koyway, and thereby oiler no upposition to the insertion of a key. The pins, however, are not entirely withdrawn from. the holes, so that the result is when any inward movement of thelatch-boltl? takes place the plate 47 will be moved along, too, and if the key which is inserted into the key-- way not of the right Width and thickness and perforated in exact correspondence with the holes 5i the pins 50 will be pressed down so hard on the key that when it is attempted to push in the latch-bolt l7 farther the key will bind and the lock Willrefuse to work. from the out-- retracted from the inside To set the lock against 12 and also inthe said actuators posed on the same side 50 are so staggered and mg from the principle thereof, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the specific construction as herein shown and described. 1
